I know ASTM and AASHTO test methods are similar....but not precisely the same.
Is there a chart comparing the similarities and difference for "standard" soils tests---i.e. Identification/ grain size/ Gsp/ ?

If my memory serves me, AASHTO identifies at the beginning of their spec the differences of ASTM and AASHTO either directly or in a footnote. See attached. This might not be for EVERY case. I haven't seen more recent AASHTO specs so am not sure that they have maintained the practice.
